WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT SOCAL ELITE SPORTS

"SoCal Elite’s League is great – our son enjoys playing with a group of players and against other teams of similar level/experience. Much better than a typical rec league program. Perfect for our 10 year old athlete."

Kristen B. – Parent

"SoCal Elite is providing a higher level basketball that previously could not be found in Irvine. The upsides: lower costs, high level professional coaching, tournament experience, great/fun practices, very competitive and an organization that cares about its athletes. This is my son’s second full season with SoCal Elite and we have been very pleased with our experience."

Mayra C. – Parent

"We’ve had an excellent experience with SoCal Elite Sports – both in the regular league and on the travel team. What impressed our family about this league is the level of organization, commitment and training that our son receives. We have played in other basketball leagues locally and have found this one to be much more rigorous and with a higher degree of training. We are especially impressed with the caliber of coaches that they have recruited for the travel teams. Our kids are coached by coaches who coach at the competitive high school level, and bring a great deal of passion and educational skills to the game. We love this league!!!"

Sheila S. – Parent

"My son has attended the clinic for at least 2 years. From having no experience to thinking he is the best at his school. It is funny to me but I am proud that he is proud and is confident! Yes, the head coach can be tough but he knows when to pull back. The other coaches are more relaxed."
